arglwydd y faenor - John Hopkins

[pcarrell]

That's a very cool looking place there John.

[John Hopkins]

We have lousy weather, great countryside, lovely beaches and the best hospitality in the world.

John.

Great looking place, John.  I'd love to have the opportunity to visit over there someday.

[John Hopkins]

Hey even better. That means there might be some wild Salmon on the menu when I visit!

I'm going to post a couple of pics and see if people can tell which one is Wales and which one is Tennessee. There is a lot of very similar countryside in both locales.

Here's a clue..If it's raining, it's Wales..

Yay!  Portmeirion!  Yes, I know I sound like a tourist.

[chief]

Thanks for the compliment..

I think you may have made me Lord of a river near Aberystwyth..

But I graciously accept the honour and invite any of you filthy Colonials to bathe in the waters when you get here.

[chief]

I've split out John's home posts... as its a good discussion in its own rite. Forgive me Welsh... arglwydd y faenor should be Lord of the Manor... (I have hard enough time trying to learn Gaelic/Mansk.)

 now that is super cool, bike shop and work shop on the main floor, kitchen and sleeping on the second floor......rent out the third floor...so cool.....

[John Hopkins]

With a house like this one, I'd say $3000 is quite the bargain.  I googled John Hopkins Estate, and this is what I found...  I figured if I found it on the internet, it must be true...,  right?

Nothing so grand I'm afraid..

This is mine..

John.

[pcarrell]

That's because he's the guy in the commercial!

[CDNRatMan]

  look at you DCyou rock being all that bilinguail...so cool sa bon.....lol....

[DC]

[greenbarn]

[CDNRatMan]

Ratman,add John to your retirement list.... you can ride indoors at his place.....he may even have a corner store in there he doesn't know about ......that will count as a ride according to the rules in 12 months a year riding...LOL

The uy had to pay a huge bill for fire rescue coming out to save his butt......

[John Hopkins]

Laird JH, you actually spend $3000.00 to heat your home......WOW, that is expensive, what temp do you keep your home at......?

I actually have a very large home my ground floor has one room that is 46ft by 23ft with a 14ft 6" ceiling and four small rooms, I use that for my workshop, it has a cellar about half that size and then another two floors above, I don't know how many rooms altogether, it never seemed important enough to count..the building was a bank when I bought it..built with dressed granite in 1902...

The $3,000 is based on the average heating price in Britain and includes lighting and cooking, mine is actually quite a bit more.

John.
